Upper Oso Campground

Upper Oso Campground in Los Padres National Forest offers 24 campsites (approximately 10 standard sites and 14 equestrian sites) at 1,040 feet elevation, with access to the nearby Santa Ynez River for fishing and swimming at White Rock Day-Use Area just 2 miles away.

The campground features large shaded sites under oak trees, flush toilets, potable water, fire rings, and picnic tables, with firewood available for purchase from the camp host.

Note: The campground is currently closed due to storm damage (closure effective July 19, 2024 through July 18, 2025), and winter closures may occur when high water levels prevent river crossings along Paradise Road.
